Volunteer Board Members
McDougall House Association – Edmonton, Alberta
The Organization
McDougall House Association (MHA) is a not-for-profit society and registered charity, established in 1969, providing residential second stage addiction treatment for women. Women who come to McDougall House have already completed a first stage addictions program and are seeking further support in their recovery. MHA takes a comprehensive approach to addiction treatment, offering trauma informed programming that includes individual counselling, group counselling, and workshops. MHA is licensed with the Alberta Government as an inpatient drug and alcohol addiction treatment center and is accredited with Accreditation Canada.
Our annual budget to operate our facility is primarily funded by Alberta Health Services but we rely in part on fundraising and grants available to meet our full operational and capital funding needs.
Board of Directors
MHA is currently seeking two new Board Members. MHA is guided by a volunteer Governance Board and Committees (People and Safety, Governance and Ethics, Finance, and Fund Development) dedicated to overseeing and supporting the vision, mission and goals set forth.
Candidates will need to demonstrate the following general attributes:
- Commitment to the Vision, Mission and Values of MHA which may be found on our website,
- Commitment and passion to meeting the needs of the clients we serve,
- Collaborative approach and strategic thinking, and
- Willingness to invest the time in attending board and committee meetings and events.
While we are particularly interested in candidates with a background in human resources, fundraising, addiction (with a focus on addiction treatment programming), legal, we would welcome any candidates who feel that they have experience to offer and who have the time and commitment to contribute to MHA. If you are interested in a particular committee, please indicate this in your resume.
Submit your resume to the Board Chair [email protected] by April 30, 2024.
Thank you for your interest.
